Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for San Mateo Union High. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Unspecified Policy Changes Hidden in Consent Vote
The board is bundling unspecified updates to ‘Board Policies and Administrative Regulation’ into a single consent vote. This tactic is often used to pass controversial changes related to gender identity, curriculum, or parental rights without public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘I demand Item O.24, the May 2026 Policy Updates, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and a separate roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know what policies you are changing.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hearing on Grant with Ideological Strings Attached
The district is holding a public hearing on a ‘Student Support and Professional Development’ grant. This type of funding often mandates the implementation of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health screening, or DEI-focused teacher training, using ‘student support’ as a Trojan horse.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND THE HEARING: Show up for the public hearing on Item V.1. Ask the board directly: ‘What specific SEL or DEI programs will this grant money fund? Will parents have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of any surveys or instruction?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal/State Overreach
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague ‘Out of State Conference’ on Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve an unspecified ‘Out of State Conference’ without disclosing the topic, cost, or attendees. These trips are often used for ideological training in topics like DEI, SEL, or ‘anti-racism’ at taxpayer expense.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This item (O.22) has no attached documents. Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘Please provide the full details for the Out of State Conference, including the organization hosting it, the agenda, and the total cost to taxpayers, before it is approved on the Consent Agenda.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Camera Mandate Chills Public Comment
The district is requiring parents who speak virtually at board meetings to have their camera on. This creates a barrier for parents who lack the technology or wish to protect their family’s privacy, potentially silencing dissent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘I oppose the camera-on requirement for virtual public comment in Item L.1. This policy intimidates parents and chills free speech. Public participation should be accessible to all, not just those willing or able to be on camera.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Pilot Advisory Program’ Needs Scrutiny
The board is approving a ‘Pilot Advisory Program’ at Hillsdale High School. Terms like ‘advisory’ can be cover for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or mentorship programs that insert school staff into students’ personal lives without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This item (R.2) has no attached documents. Email the Board at Board@smuhsd.org: ‘Regarding the Hillsdale High Pilot Advisory Program, what is the curriculum? Will parents be notified and have the right to opt their children out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School Overreach
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District Renews Deal with Aggressive Law Firm
The board is approving a Memorandum of Understanding with F3Law, a major California law firm that frequently represents school districts in legal battles against parents, particularly in special education cases. This signals the district may be preparing for more litigation rather than collaboration with families.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Keep track of the district’s legal spending and any increase in due process complaints. No immediate action required, but be aware of who the district’s lawyers are.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Litigation
